Seniors, College, & High School

<p>OK, senioritis is killing me. The story:</p>

<p>the case: I applied to my two safety schools (Bowling Green State and Ohio Uni). I got into both the business schools. The thing is, my dream school is American University (I'm also applying to Denison & Earlham, but I'll need to take Int'l Studies, German and Business Admin. rather than simply Int'l bus. and german). American University is incredibly expensive. There is such little chance I will get in, but I won't find out until April 1st. </p>

<p>problem: Since I have two school acceptances, I'm slacking terribly. The way I see it is I can go somewhere. Why waste money on undergrad. when grad. school is what really matters? To keep pushing myself from now until April...and then to only get rejection...it seems like such a waste, when I can relax now. Relaxing in terms of being alright with a B rather than going into cardiac arrest at the prospect of a B. </p>

<p>Yes, senioritis has hit me. I also think that I stopped coming to CC for a month or so, so not being around the constant - 4.0 perfect SAT school 800,000,000 outside activites and still worrying about getting into harvard - has completely killed my drive.</p>

<p>Anyone else feeling the pain?</p>

<p>i'm a victim of chronic senioritis. you should continue trying in school so you can get scholarships. also, if you had a choice would you regret: </p>

<p>-not slacking off and ending up okay
OR
-slacking off and messing everything up</p>

<p>think of it this way... even if grad school is what really matters, who's so sure you're gonna go? you could change your mind. And when/if that happens you might as well be at a really good school so you'll be prepared for whatever. But yes I'm feeling the pain. But not really, because I've slacked my entire time in school, so this is no different. This year I happen to have a nice period set up where I can get work done before classes :D</p>

<p>it's so haard though...</p>

<p>I have a study period too, but since I'm a senior, we're allowed to take those off - so yes, I take my study period off and go home early. what can I say, the study hall was too loud for it to be useful...my time is better spent at home, napping.</p>

<p>I feel you. It' s just something you have to push through :p</p>

<p>celebrian, you make it sound like giving birth.</p>

<p>It is like giving birth ;)</p>

<p>just one more reason I don't want to have children - this is painful enough!</p>

<p>Yeah nobody told us we'd be pregnant our senior year... That threw us guys for a loop.</p>

<p>it's a sad fact. You don't want to push that darned "baby" out, but you have to, so you just keep on pushing and pushing until it's popped out! See it's a good metaphor! :D Now you can tell your parents you're pregnant! :p</p>

<p>Oh god you guys are scaring me.</p>

<p>senioritis is killing me but lucky for me i moved to a much easier school so im currently doing great.. with that said.. screw american, ohio u is where its at</p>

<p>Only CC-ers would consider the college application process as painful and torturous as pregnancy.</p>

<p>have you been drinking tonight?</p>

<p>Yeah I'm struggling a little with senioritis. But I can't afford to. I have mock exams in February that essentially make up my final grade. IB exams and all the IB coursework. I just don't care anymore. I got into my top choice school ED, so now I'm afraid I just won't finish my work and have my acceptance rescinded. That would be terrible. :(</p>

<p>Oh god, if I told my parents I was pregnant I'd get bars on my window and a tapped phone line. hahaha. Then I would have an even harder time messing around with stuff and would have to do homework/college essays. </p>

<p>The college essay part is killing me. I can't write about myself! I always feel like I'm sounding self-centered. haha</p>

<p>darn pregnancy!!!</p>

<p>yea... one of my scholarship essays for an honors biochem program wants me to write a brief autobiography... i have no clue what to do</p>

<p>I go to my friends and am like "so, what is my greatest characteristic? What is my weakest characteristic? Do I have leadership skills?"</p>

<p>i'm sort of suffering from it. I'm getting a B+ where i should get an A. But it didn't hurt my GPA majorly. Anyways, this is what i do. Since i'm slacking off, i'm just going to add more pressure on myself. This year i was planning on just taking 4(school)+2(self-study) APs but i reconsidered and added three more and decided to take 9. It works for me. Pressure=challenge so i like it.</p>
